Rumours of this being something like Army Painter’s Quickshade Tins have been swirling for a while. But this is slightly different in that these paint’s are more akin to a pigment dense wash.

The whole pitch here is that you can simply apply one coat of the 34 new colours (yes they don’t match the names of existing colours) over one of the 2 new primers. This will shade, colour and “highlight” the model in just one quick coat. Although, this “revolutionary” “new” method is rather similar to the decade-old Army painter’s Quickshade Washes.

As you may have noticed from the top image, these paints are also in a new size of pot somewhere between the existing standard 12ml pots and the easily tippable 24ml shade & texture pots.

There’s no clarity yet on why these new primers are so special or if/why they are required. I assume they are just white or grey with a bit of gloss sheen in them to help the wash run into the recesses and stay away from the highlights

The results are quite interesting and this will surely encourage more beginners to get into the hobby. As it should now be much simpler to get your armies tabletop ready.

There’s still no news on a release date but we hope to hear more as Warhammer fest Continues
